Annual Investment Meeting

The 2020 Annual Investment Meeting provided a compelling program and a network of global industry experts to help us reimagine our economies, from portfolio management to digital innovation. Through an easy-to-access and engaging platform, capital markets participants, technologists, public officials, and SMEs shared actionable insights with their global peers. A unique setting which is likely to foster continued opportunities for collaboration and shared learning.

It was a pleasure to join AIM Digital 2020 Conference and discuss with other country leaders the economic agenda of the post-Covid-19 world. AIM is an important platform to debate investment development, global market concerns and technology breakthroughs with government officials, global industry leaders investment entities and innovators. No wonder that AIM is becoming a gravity event in the MEA region. Skolkovo Foundation sees a great interest in joining AIM Summit, as it provides a good opportunity for its resident startups to meet investors, customers and government entities from around the world.

Having participated in several conferences regionally and globally, I would rate AIM Digital as one of the best-organized conferences in terms of content, speakers and overall management. Although this was the first digital edition, still it went very smooth. The coordination and guidance provided by the organizing team was useful and ensured that the speakers know what they have to exactly do. I congratulate UAE’s Ministry of Economy and AIM Organization team for putting up a very successful event.

We at WAIPA deeply value cooperation with Annual Investment Meeting. It is always our pleasure to be part of the AIM annual meeting and contribute through various initiatives. This year we have been especially excited as for the first time in the history AIM meeting went virtual. Event gathered participants from more than 170 countries around the globe from IPAs, international organizations, investment consultants, academia and investors. We have organized a successful workshop titled “Investment promotion in a new era and a push for investing in SDGs''. I was personally very proud to be a member of the judging committee for investment awards for this edition. I would really like to commend the AIM team to organize such a successful and flawless virtual event that can be used as a role model for the future. It was organized in a user-friendly manner, so all participants were able to navigate through virtual rooms where different sessions were conducted.
